Charles Bronson, Hollywood's Lone Wolf
His trademark: gray mustache and iron look. The US actor Charles Bronson was one of the famous "tough men" in Hollywood. He knocked Robert Redford down, shot Henry Fonda, coached Elvis, toasted Alain Delon, flirted with Liz Taylor, shot anything that moved, and beat up generations of extras. Over the course of his 40-plus year career, Bronson starred in nearly 100 films. He became known as a revenge-seeking antihero who enjoys killing. But success only came at an advanced age. As a silent harmonica player, he became an international star, but first had to see red and start a controversial revenge campaign on the screen so that he could also make a breakthrough in his home country. The documentary explores the contradictions of an actor who often played the antihero on screen, but who lived in private as a husband and father of seven children. With numerous archive images and film excerpts the filmmakers look back at the story of a former miner who later became a film star.

A Struggle for Home: The Crimean Tatars
For hundreds of years, Crimea was home to the Crimean Tatars, a Muslim-Turkic people. They were the masters of the land, the indigenous population. But that all changed when the Russian Empire conquered the peninsula in 1783. Since then, the Tatars have struggled to reclaim their home from Russian domination. In the process, they have suffered ethnic and religious persecution, including a Soviet genocide that saw their entire population forcibly and brutally deported from Crimea to Central Asia in 1944. When the Soviet Union collapsed, many Tatars thought they finally would be free and secure in their homeland. But in February 2014, those dreams were dashed when Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded and re-annexed the peninsula. This documentary film tells the little-known story of the Crimean Tatars. It features interviews with Crimean residents, Tatar activists, Russian nationalists, survivors of the 1944 deportation, and historians. Among the many interviewed include Russian nationalist Sergey Aksyonov, who is now the Putin-backed prime minister of the peninsula, and Mustafa Dzhemilev, the leader of the Crimean Tatar people. The film recounts the rich and often tragic history of the Tatars, from ancient times to today. It is a story of betrayal, courage and, above all, hope. For despite all that they have faced, the Crimean Tatars remain undaunted in their struggle for freedom.

The 600: The Soldiers' Story
On the night of April 6th, after extremists downed the plane carrying the Hutu President of Rwanda who was participating in the peace talks, the Army and the militias began targeted assassinations of moderate Hutu leaders, and prominent Tutsis, and then indiscriminate massacres of Tutsi civilians across the country at an alarmingly fast and brutal pace. This small battalion held out for several days against surrounding army forces that were 10,000 strong, before the relief forces of the RPA arrived from the Head Quarters, 83 kilometers away, to save them. The soldiers of the RPA, while under fire from larger forces, still had to deal with the barbarity of the Genocide, discovering mass killings, raped women, and sometimes their own relatives who had been killed by the perpetrators of the Genocide against the Tutsi. Nevertheless, many continued to fought on. They performed daring rescues of thousands of civilians around Kigali that were trapped in churches, the stadium, and their homes as they faced certain death. These young, well disciplined, politically-educated army were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save Rwanda from one of the worst events in human history.
